The season is a'changing, the weather is warmer. The forecast calls for high temperature, low humidity and a light breeze. A near perfect day. What better reason to gather the friends and have a good time with a bonfire? Grab a beer, have a seat. Cheery tunes fill the salty air. There's plenty of room and so much to eat.

Matt Murdock is actually dressed for the beach. Still likely more than usual. He burns so easily. There's no way he could have done this alone. Anyone who is anyone in Nexus knows that there is that distinct Verity Willis touch on everything. If the sounds and the sights don't get you, it is going to be whatever Clint has on the grill. That man is magic.

"The price is never a monetary value. It is usually a favor owed to Schön." Hunter explains. "I can introduce you to him, and it will up to you to decide."

"But if I was looking for a door, I would go to him..."

"He's very good at what he does, and he won't charge unless he can deliver results. It's usually the best bargain you can find around here."

"A favor? What nature of favor?" Faris asks. He may be inexperienced with humans, but that just makes him slightly more cautious of agreeing to things he doesn't understand yet.
losthunter: (standing in the light)

[personal profile] losthunter 2016-06-02 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"That would be up to you and Schön to agree on." Hunter shrugs.

[personal profile] brave_heart_verity 2016-06-03 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
There's no further explanation coming from her; she just shrugs.

"He asked me for some of my hair, one time."
poetwarrior: (Tattoo form)

[personal profile] poetwarrior 2016-06-03 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
"So... his prices may be of a trivial nature," Faris concludes, although he's aware that it might not be the only kind of price this mysterious benefactor would accept. "Very well, perhaps I should meet this friend of yours."
losthunter: (refuge in my garden)

[personal profile] losthunter 2016-06-03 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Perhaps he will come tonight."

"Anything else you need on your meat, Faris?"
brave_heart_verity: (Default)

[personal profile] brave_heart_verity 2016-06-03 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, he's here, somewhere." Probably behind her, now she's summoned him with the magic words.

But until the mystery man shows his face, Faris can keep right on thinking Ver's hair is of a trivial nature. That tells her a lot about him--for all he might be magic, he can't sense it.

Good.
u_can_have_it_4_a_song: Oh, yes (Smile)

Say your right words, Verity. Or is it speak of the devil, and he shall appear? "He is, indeed," greets the smooth-voiced fiend, himself. "Hunter, you're looking well, how are you--and who is your new friend?"
losthunter: (lean into my arms)

[personal profile] losthunter 2016-06-03 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
The compliment from Schön influences a blush to cover most of Hunters' face, and part of his shoulders too.

"This is Faris, I just recently met him a little while back."

"And I am doing well. Thank you for asking."
poetwarrior: (Tattoo form)

[personal profile] poetwarrior 2016-06-03 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Faris's head rises from Hunter's shoulder for a moment as he sniffs at the meat. "Perhaps... just a small amount of sunscreen?" he asks. "Then it will be perfect."

The K'da quickly sinks back into full tattoo form at the approach of a stranger, since his new friends apparently think he shouldn't draw attention. The point seems to be moot though, because Schön has already commented on his presence. "Greetings," he says politely.
brave_heart_verity: (cautiously optimistic)

[personal profile] brave_heart_verity 2016-06-03 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Schön sees all, Schön hears all... or at least, Schön knows Verity wouldn't be talking to empty air. And given her singular inability to have imaginary friends...

There's worse right words than summoning her devil.

"Don't work too much, this is supposed to be a party," she reminds him.
u_can_have_it_4_a_song: Now, that's interesting (Oooh)

[personal profile] u_can_have_it_4_a_song 2016-06-03 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Her devil, is he? Verity's becoming possessive about all sorts of people.

"Faris," he greets the not-quite-tattoo, lifting his hat genially, "I am quite pleased to meet you." Hunter's answer is met with a smile and, "good, good."

"I remember the mantra of the cookout, Verity, never fear: pleasure before business."

[personal profile] losthunter 2016-06-03 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Have you eaten Schön? We were just getting Faris something for his unique diet." Hunter takes out a bottle of sunscreen, and uses it like one would use mayonnaise, by smearing a little of it on the meat on Faris' plate.
poetwarrior: (Leaping off)

[personal profile] poetwarrior 2016-06-03 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Faris decides that there is little point to him remaining hidden for the moment, since people are after all talking to him. He flows off Hunter's arm like water, dropping onto all four paws again, and he bows his head slightly to Schön. "And you as well."

The K'da tries not to be too distracted by the delicious smell coming from the plate, not while there are introductory pleasantries to conduct. But it does smell really good. To him, anyway.
brave_heart_verity: (pleased)

[personal profile] brave_heart_verity 2016-06-04 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
He's seen how she takes care of people. He'd rather be someone else's devil?

So long as the boys are all playing nice she'll give them some space. She's not wanted or needed for the negotiations and there's bound to be something she needs to be doing just out of earshot. "Don't forget you're on my team for volleyball, Hunter. I'm calling dibs."

That's a fair point. Verity tends her devils well.

Faris' detachment from Hunter is a process worth watching, and it has the thin man's full attention while it happens. "Well. Fluid grace, indeed. I've not yet dined, no," he answers, turning to Hunter's question with some fluidity of his own, "but I was about to. That is an... intriguing preparation you're making."

Volleyball? Schön may need to angle to be referee when the time comes, if there isn't one already.
losthunter: (standing in the light)

[personal profile] losthunter 2016-06-04 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
"You are calling dibs on me. I feel honored." Hunter grins at Verity.

"Well Faris has an unique diet. Last time he wanted caramel sauce and motor oil on his meat. This time... sunscreen."

"But I can fix one up for you, without any special ingredients." Hunter smiles.
poetwarrior: (Scale detail)

[personal profile] poetwarrior 2016-06-04 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Verity seems to be leaving the conversation, so Faris bows his head to her slightly before she goes. "My thanks again for accommodating my tastes." Or trying, anyway. As far as he's concerned, the thought really does count.

[personal profile] u_can_have_it_4_a_song 2016-06-05 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Schön tips his hat to Verity as she goes, before nodding to Hunter. "Please. Caramel, motor oil, and sunscreen--I admit, it might not suit my own palate, but there are those of whom I can think who might appreciate the recipe."
losthunter: (introspective into my soul)

[personal profile] losthunter 2016-06-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I will get right to fixing one up for you. Faris can tell you his story."
poetwarrior: (Roar)

[personal profile] poetwarrior 2016-06-05 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"It is not a very long story," Faris says, slightly apologetic.

"A tale is rarely judged by its length," Schön assures the dragon, "although if you prefer not to share it, I shan't press."
losthunter: (reveal my flaws)

[personal profile] losthunter 2016-06-05 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just start at the beginning Faris." Hunter encourages his friend, from where he is making a couple of burgers.

"Very well." The K'da sits on his haunches, so he doesn't have to crane his neck back to look up at Schön. "I was on a scout ship staffed by my peoples, and somehow found myself here in this Nexus. My kind are symbiotic, and cannot live longer than six hours away from our hosts. That time had nearly passed when I came across Hunter. Fortunately, humans are compatible with K'da needs, so he has graciously volunteered to allow me temporary shelter. We have been unable to locate the way back for me."
